Final trailer for Oscar favourite Zero Dark Thirty

THE final trailer for the hotly- tipped Oscar favourite Zero Dark Thirty has
been released.

The new promo focuses on Jessica Chastain’s character Maya, a CIA analyst at
the centre of the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

The bill for the operation to find the Al-Qaeda chief is running into
billions, and raising ethical questions about interrogation methods, when an
intelligence breakthrough finally leads them to Pakistan and the final
showdown.

Kathryn Bigelow’s hard-hitting take on the search for the terrorist chief got
an awards season boost with four Golden
Globe nominations yesterday.

Jessica was nominated for a Best Actress gong while Kathryn and screenwriter
Mark Boal are up for Best Director and Best Screenplay, respectively.

And the movie is favourite to bag the Best Picture award – after winning the
accolade from the New York Critics Circle earlier this month.

The director and her writing partner have tasted Oscar success with their last
collaboration, The Hurt Locker.

The movie scooped Best Picture and Best Director in 2010, beating box office
smash Avatar – directed by Kathryn’s ex-husband James Cameron.
